Seven doors

Belle Vie offers a finite list of seven door profiles. Three Shaker variants in different proportions, one beaded Shaker, one traditional five-piece, one French-mitered, one slab. Each one has a reason.

The full menu, in the order it’s offered. Paint is sprayed in our Somersworth booth on every painted door, so the door, the face frame, and the end panel read as one object. Stain finishes are hand-rubbed in oil or sprayed in clear lacquer, depending on the wood and the room.

Door 01

Lexington

A classic Shaker, mitered at the joint for a clean, square line. The Belle Vie default.

Construction: Mitered, true-blind mortise and tenon
Materials: Maple Hard or Soft, paint-grade HDF core. Paint or stain.

Door 02

Newport

Lexington with narrower stiles and rails. Reads quieter, more current. For rooms that want the Shaker without the weight.

Construction: Mitered Nexus, slim stile
Materials: Maple Hard or Soft with HDF core, or paint-grade HDF only. Paint or stain.

Materials: Maple Hard or Soft, paint-grade HDF core. Paint or stain.
